Three Things She Learned

One of the cards sent to me during the "divine mix-up" of birthday gifts from my sister went along to the hospital with me during my cancer surgery this past week. I would like to share it with all of you today.

In hard times
she had learned
three things~
She was stronger ~
than she ever imagined.
~~~~~~~~~~
Philippians 4:13 (paraphrased) "I can do all things through Christ who continually pours His strength into me."
~~~~~~~~~~
Jesus was closer
Than she ever realized
~~~~~~~~~
Joshua 1:9 " Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. The Lord God is with you wherever you go."
~~~~~~~~~~
She was loved
More than she ever knew.
~~~~~~~~~~
I Corinthians 13~ The "Love Chapter"...."If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."
~~~~~~~~~~
My surgery went very very well. The cancer was Grade 1 "moderate" as it went into 20% of the tissue surrounding it. I will not need radiation and as soon as the results of the lymph nodes come back we will know for sure what lies ahead. I had NO major reactions to anything. This in and of itself is a miracle! We are praising God for being in the details of every single part of this process. Humbled and amazed we are giving thanks to God, and to each of you for your prayers and support. Many thanks.
